Take This Rain, words & music by Jackson Browne from the CD I'm Alive. [Intro] G6 C D x2
           G                         C                 D
It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand

               G                      C              D
And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand

       C                D           G   G/F#      C/E
But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three

                                  D
And I can't find my own among the directions they're all going

            G                C                 D
Baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness

       G               C                D
It's alright take this rain as your new address

       C               D           C               D
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain

                 G                   C               D
'cause I've been running all over creation out of my mind

          G                         C                 D
Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time

      C             D               G   G/F#       C/E
Going crazier every day watching our love slipping away

                                                     D
'cause you're the only home I've ever wanted and the only light I've known

                G                C                 D
But baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness

       G               C                D
It's alright take this rain as your new address

       C               D           C               D
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain

                   G
You're going to be free
(Solo)
C           F                      G                       C
Some people go through life seeing just what they want to see

         Am              Em                F                G
Take the way I went on believing you might still believe in me

    C                  F           G                       C
And I still want the love I always thought our love could be

    Bb                       F             D
But some things can't be changed take this rain

                G                    C                    D
You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name

            G                 C                    D
And know my love and my desperation are one in the same

              C                  D             G  G/F#          C/E
And where our footprints used to be there'll be nothing but the sea

                                                   D
And the tide and the wind and the open sky and the unbroken horizon

            G                C                 D
Baby it's alright break this chain of love and madness

       G               C                 D
It's alright take this pain and all your sadness

       C               D           C               D
It's alright take this rain it's alright take this rain

       C               D                       G    C D
It's alright take this rain you're going to be free
